23 years ago today, the US attacked Iraq.

Just as the "War on Drugs" did not abolish the drug trade, the "War on Terror" only gave rise to more terror. But perhaps the point was to destabilize the region, ensuring the US would always have enemies to justify its imperial interventions.

Authoritarian regimes must create enemies that make them look good by comparison. In 2006, we speculated that the Bush administration was intentionally pursuing policies that fostered fundamentalist terrorism—a more convenient adversary than movements for liberation.

Today, desperately seeking to create enough turbulence to keep itself aloft, the Trump administration has returned to the strategy of intentionally destabilizing the Middle East.

But the US was an unrivaled power in 2003—whereas now, it is a waning empire.

The outcome many surprise everyone.

How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:

1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.

2. All the harasser's followers join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.

3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.

4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.

5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."
